I'm glad I stayed the same. I was worried my new med was going to make me gain some weight. I've been able to exercise and do my morning Jazzercise classes.2 -

What a way to ruin a perfectly good chicken wing!! Being originally from Buffalo, there's no other way to eat a wing other than with Frank's hot sauce. 
Anything else is blasphemy. And even though I live in Maryland now I cannot stand Old Bay. LOL
I just discovered Frank’s hot makes a Nashville hot! Im in love ❤️ 🥰 💕

Omg! That was 10. Pages. Long!! I made it thru though! Thanks everyone for giving me some great inspirational content to read up on! 🥰🥰
It took my mind off of some sad events that just occurred fairly close to home(I’ll probably share a little later)
Glad to see everyone’s springy steps and some of you are so fired that I’m feeling the heat over here in Florida!! (Like we don’t have enough!)
Congrats to everyone who’s lost in the month of June! Hopefully we see some announcements coming up!4 -

@DaffyGirl88. 🤣 I must disagree ...You can ruin NOTHING by adding Old Bay! Eggs, potatoes, corn, seafood, pasta, veggies, chicken, alfredo sauce and so much more. Old Bay makes everything better... been trying to track down those Old Bay goldfish forever... ask hubs I search every store we go into. Maryland born and bred.. and bleed Old Bay! 🤪
@sandkp I had no idea you were from MD! I just checked your profile and good grief, we're practically neighbors!! I live in the Park just South of base, in St James. We should meet up sometime and walk the Three Notch Trail!!
@DaffyGirl88 Wow - we are close! We will have to do that sometime when life settles down and the boys are back in their routines (aka college!)1 -

Goodness trying to get ready for my daughters birthday party today had made me lose all track of how long its been since I checked in here. I've been upping my exercise a ton and its making me super hungry which is making it really hard to keep under goal but so far minus today I'm holding steady at just barely under calories.1 -
@KimR_1986 I wondered where you were. 😊 Great job! I know that everyone is different but I find adding a protein snack (or two) helps me with that. I was ravenous on Monday after my hike on Sunday so I ate a bit more than normal. Sometimes I even eat at maintenance calories for a day. As long as you don't go over maintenance you should be ok. 👍
Be sure to log all that exercise for GoT. 😉1 -

Exercise: Yes - 💪 739 kcal’s : Rowing, Dancing, yoga + strength ⛑ +65 PAI (244), 👟 13,970
Goals/Day/Comments: 🎉 Wahoo! Ya’ll I’m officially down 20LBS from where I was at the start of April. Nothing could erase today’s joy! Most of that decline came from the encouragement of this group!!!! You are all amazing and I thank you! ❤️

@KimR_1986 with that increase in exercise you’re increasing your TDEE! Not sure if your goal is based on BSM/RMR or how it was figured. You might want to consider calculating that TDEE and readjust your calorie goal. I re-adjusted mine at the start of the month. You can find apps that’ll calculate it for you or formulas to assist on the web (won’t let me share a link). Also soluble fiber like chia seeds or slow digesting proteins like almonds help me along with guzzling the water. Matcha and Cocao nibs can also help suppress your appetite and assist with your goals along with offering many other benefits. And yeah sometimes we go a little over but it’s like DaffyGirl88 said maintenance is different than deficit. You are rocking it and I’m so proud!2

@JbeanR0212 You are right, I went and found a TDEE calculator instead of the BMR the change in calorie burn is hugely different. My BMR is already 2200 a day and with adding the exercise its bringing the TDEE closer to 3300-3600 calories burned a day. This honestly makes sense since that 3200+ calorie burn is what my fitbit watch tells me I'm burning a day. So I guess I should up my calories from my 1700 a day to closer to 2200 mark and see if that makes a difference for a bit.1

Thank you!Update: Sat 9th Jul
Track: No
Calories: I know it was very high, probably 3 times current intake
Exercise: Yes
Goals/Day/Comments: 12246 steps, walked 68mins to and from the shops instead of getting the train to get some exercise in. Fasted for 20hrs 14 mins. I went to my niece's birthday party later in the afternoon, I had already accepted this would be a high carb day, ended up having second helpings of food and drinking more than I had planned. There was a lot of my country's traditional food which I hadn't eaten in a while and just couldn't resist. Sigh!
Update: Sun 10th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes under
Exercise: Yes
Goals/Day/Comments: 13462 steps, 40mins run/walk and 51 mins walk. Fasted for 20hrs 19 mins. After yesterday's overeating felt so bloated and dehydrated. I know the scales will be high tomorrow but hoping after a few days eating low carb again will get right back to where I was.
@Naija82
At least you enjoyed yourself and you did it with Intermittent Fasting You’re doing amazing with exercise!! Keep it up👟 I was doing Intermittent Fasting before changing to a higher fat diet. I was doing 20:4. I think I’ll resume 20:4 fast in August. It’s great when you don’t have to think about food most of the day, can get so much stuff done!
How long have you done 20 hour fast? How long do you intend to do them?
I've done IF officially off and on for the last couple of years. Restarted in the last 6 weeks where I set myself a minimum goal of 16hrs so I vary daily, averaging about 19.5hrs. I actually started the low carb and IF at the same time.
What I hope to move on to once I am fully adapted is incorporating some 24-72hr fast
Nice! I have done a 24 hr fast by accident and it wasn’t bad. I would like to do a 7 to 21 day fast like 2 to 3 times a year eventually
Same would love to do a much longer fast, did 7 days once years ago and tried for 10 days but only made it to day 3. Lots of great benefits will longer fasts
Nice, how was the 7 days? What benefits did you notice for yourself?
The first 2 days were hard but once day 3 comes it felt much easier
I felt better mentally! It's like my brain was suddenly sharp and clear
My stomach issues significantly reduced
Had some bumps on my body that cleared up and some back pain that went away.
I mainly like the longer fasts for the autophagy, the cell destruction and repair. Some say it has helped them cure diseases etc3 -
Update: Thu 14th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: Was under
Exercise: Yes - 13747steps, 4.53 miles walked, 86 mins and 40 mins running ( Run 8 Walk 2 x4)
Update: Fri 15th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: Was almost double my allowance, managed to woof down a bag of pistachios.
Exercise: Yes - 7147 steps, 3.33 miles walked, 65mins. Wanted to do a run but had to pick nephew early from school
Update: Sat 16th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: Very high
Exercise: Yes - 12908 steps, 1.64 miles walked, 39 mins and 48 mins running, this time no walking, very disappointed that I only did 5k in that time, just can't seem to move fast.
Update: Sun 17th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: Very high again
Exercise: Yes - 11318 steps, 2.93 miles walked in 55 mins
Goals/Day/Comments: Sorry haven't posted in a while have been busy with the nephew and niece. I have a new appreciation for parents who have young kids and work. I was off work but still shattered at the ended of the day so can't imagine how they cope with it all the time. My nephew was sick for a few days so my anxiety was up and barely got any sleep, glad he is okay now.
I have been overeating a lot in the last 3 days and unfortunately gave in to the high carb temptation at my brother's house luckily I am back home where there is none of that. This week is to keep within my daily calorie/carb limits and exercise some self control. Also no more buying pistachios
Looks like I'm not going to lose any weight this month 😟 instead I will gain.1 -
